As to a good recipe for 200 gr. lead bullets, I like 9.5 grs. of AA#7, Starline cases, WLR primers with Double-Tap's wide flat point 200 gr. cast bullets. I've worked up to as much as 10 grs., but the ejection of the brass was too excessive.
Good, under 2 inches at 25 yd, accuracy, within 1/2 inch of my standard 180 gr. load's zero, and great penetration. It will shoot through three of my 2.5 gallon jugs of water stacked end to end. That's 36 inches of water plus the container walls.
I suspect your AA#9 would work a bit better, BTW.
I trust it's a clean burning as well as a flash supressed powder ?
So, I'll add my wishes for you you to stay safe as well. Want you to stick around as well. E
